U.S. and UK intelligence services are cooperating with the Mossad to sabotage Tehran’s nuclear program in exchange for Israel agreeing not to launch a military strike on Iran, the French weekly Le Canard Enchaîné reported on Thursday (Dec 30, ’10), quoting French intelligence sources.

Acts of sabotage carried out in the past year in Iran were conducted by Israel with the help of the CIA and MI6, the sources said.

The sabotage included, according to the report, the introduction of the Stuxnet computer virus into 30,000 computers in Iran’s nuclear reactors, and explosions in October in which 18 Iranian technicians were killed at a factory that manufactured Shihab missiles in the Zagros mountains.

According to the sources, the assassinations of five Iranian nuclear scientists were also carried out by the Mossad in cooperation with the American and British intelligence agencies.

The sources said the cooperation continues, and more joint actions aimed at stopping Iran from completing its nuclear program are expected.
